The EA-1 is a virtual meter allowing connectivity of Ophir’s smart (DB-15) power and energy sensors to automation systems and computers using Ethernet connectivity. It allows remote monitoring and control of the meter via customer custom software, or the Ophir provided PC application.
- From sensor directly to automation systems and computers using Ethernet
- Powers directly from the Ethernet (POE PD) or 12V power supply
- Supports thermal, photodiode and pyroelectric smart sensors
- Software support via StarLab application or 'Ophir Ethernet App'
- Allows remote monitoring via Telnet, HTTP and UDP protocols
- Log power and energy, average, statistics, histograms and more See All Features
Software
PC Software & Drivers
This section describes various ways to interface the Ophir meter to your PC as well as the software options available. Check out the datasheet for more details.
The StarLab application together with an Ophir meter turns your PC or laptop into a full-fledged laser power/energy meter. Supports most Ophir laser power/energy sensors. Up to 8 sensors can be displayed at once on one PC. By using the Ophir COM Object, you can control the device from your own application. Supports the Ariel, Centauri, StarBright, StarLite, Juno, Juno+, Nova II, Vega, Pulsar-1/2/4, Quasar, EA-1 and Ariel devices.

Features
Product Feature: EA-1 Ethernet Adapter
The EA-1 Ethernet adapter enables you to connect an Ophir “Smart Sensor” to your Ethernet network. In this video, you’ll get an overview of how you can integrate the EA-1 into your system, and use it to monitor and control your laser sensor remotely.
Introduction to the StarLab Laser Measurement Application
This video gives an overview of the StarLab application and its various functions. Part 1 of a series of video segments teaching you how to use StarLab.
Laser Measurement PC Interfaces
If all your laser measurement work involves a laptop or a PC, rather than a stand-alone meter, one of Ophir's direct-to-PC interfaces could be an ideal solution. These are full-fledged Laser Power and Energy meters, but instead of having a separate on-board display, the PC becomes your display. In this video you will learn about the range of PC Interfaces available from Ophir.
Ophir Laser Measurement Virtual Meters
If all your laser measurement work involves a laptop or a PC, one of Ophir's direct-to-PC virtual meters could be an ideal solution. These are full-fledged Laser Power and Energy meters, and - together with the sensor and Ophir’s powerful StarLab software application - turn your PC into a full-function, multi-channel laser measurement workstation.
In this webinar, you will learn about the range of virtual meters and interface options available from Ophir.
